Permo-Triassic granitoids in the northern part of the Truong Son belt, NW Vietnam: Geochronology, geochemistry and tectonic implications

Zircon U-Pb geochronology and heavy mineral composition constraints on the provenance of the middle Miocene deep-water reservoir sedimentary rocks in the Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin, South China Sea

“…The early Permian-Triassic arc magmatism (280e270 Ma and 250e240 Ma) is widely distributed in the belt (Fig. 9) (Hoa et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2012). The Early Paleozoic granitoids within the Truong Son Belt occur mainly in the southwest of the orogenic belt, and gives aged of 460e430 Ma (Carter et al, 2001;Lan et al, 2003;Usuki et al, 2009Usuki et al, , 2013Wang et al, 2016a).…”

Late Miocene provenance change on the eastern margin of the Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin, South China Sea: Evidence from U–Pb dating and Hf isotope analyses of detrital zircons

“…9, area B). Rocks of early PermianeTriassic arc magmatism (280e270 Ma and 250e240 Ma) are widely distributed in this belt (Hoa et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2012). In addition, the Early Paleozoic granitoids within the Truong Son Belt are mainly located in the southwest of the orogenic belt, with ages of 460e430 Ma (Carter et al, 2001;Lan et al, 2003;Usuki et al, 2009).…”

The volcaniclastic series from the Luang Prabang Basin, Laos: A witness of a triassic magmatic arc?

“…The exact number of continental fragments and volcanic arcs that actually compose SEA, as well as the timing of their amalgamation, are still controversial and a number of geodynamic models have been proposed to account for the tectonic evolution of the east Tethyan domain (e.g., Ridd, 1971;Burrett, 1974;Sengör, 1979;Mitchell, 1981;Helmcke, 1985;Metcalfe, 1988Metcalfe, , 2002Lepvrier et al, 2004;Ferrari et al, 2008;Carter and Clift, 2008;Cai J.-X. and Zhang K.-J., 2009;Metcalfe, 2011;Liu J. et al, 2012;Cocks and Torsvik, 2013;Lai C.-K. et al, 2014b;Qian X. et al, 2015a). Corollary to these uncertainties about the geodynamic evolution of SEA from the late Paleozoic to the early Mesozoic, the spatial configuration (i.e., the shape) of the blocks that compose the east Tethyan domain and the nature of their boundaries are not precisely known (e.g., Heppe et al, 2007;Wang Q. et al, 2014).…”
